A record 14 inches of snow...

Our area has received a record amount of snow for Oklahoma. I know the rest of the world has had more than its share of snow this winter of 2010|2011, but the amount of snow we have had in the past 24 hours is a lot for a state that rarely sees snow. It's been a good day for cleaning, organizing, cooking and watching the birds fight over the seed in the feeders. There is about a 2-3 ft. drift under the feeders by the house, so hopefully, the little guys won't get too hungry when that feeder runs out ... one of us is going to have to brave it and fill the feeders.
Have been taking photos off and on all day of our bird friends....
TV news is just announcing we might be getting more snow later this evening, currently the wind chill is a minus 7ยบ. So I guess this will be known as the "great blizzard of 2011" in Oklahoma. 

Brrrrr.... travel safely and thanks for visiting.

What pretty birds you have in your garden!! Sounds like you are as passionte about nature as i am. The
snow is lovely, but only when you don't have to travel in it. When we have snow here every thing comes to a stand still. I can't wait for the Spring to come!!! Take Care.x
